What happens

31 June (Russian: 31 июня, romanized: 31 iyunya) is a two-part fantasy TV musical, loosely based on a story by J. B. Priestley. The film premiered in the USSR in 1978. The film was conceived and developed by Leonid Kvinikhidze and Aleksandr Zatsepin. It was archived for over ten years after its premiere, because Alexander Godunov, a famous ballet dancer in the Bolshoi Theatre and one of the film's leads, requested political asylum in the United States.
